CHAPTER 846: CHAPTER 846: IT’S HARD NOT TO GET FAMOUS THIS TIME

Originally thought that after these words were spoken, Shen Moce and the others would definitely feel embarrassed and might scold that person or leave in a huff, allowing him to at least vent a little.

Who knew, Ji Gaoxian, Shen Moce, and the others remained unperturbed, while Weng Yixiao’s ever-present smile seemed even brighter than usual.

Mo Gaoyi had no idea that these masters admired Mu Hanyan’s Star Divination Technique to the point of awe. Even if Mu Hanyan didn’t pay them any attention, they found it completely normal, as who were they to get angry?

Seeing Mu Hanyan speak, they were not only not angry but also delighted. After all, Mo Qingkuang had already lowered his stance to ask politely; they would be deeply ashamed if they couldn’t offer a satisfying result for the elders. Mu Hanyan’s ability to help Mo Qingkuang also afforded them some dignity.

Moreover, Mo Gaoli’s amiable nature and prior interaction with them made them willing to assist him.

As for Mo Gaoyi, since Mo Qingkuang had already spoken, they couldn’t be blamed.

So they were more than happy and far from admonishing Mu Hanyan; besides, were they even qualified?

Noticing the seemingly smiling but unsmiling expressions, Mo Gaoyi suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

"Hehe, can you really help?" Mo Qingkuang withdrew his gaze and looked at Mu Hanyan with interest.

Don’t be mistaken; the slight focus of his gaze just now had already utilized the Divine Power technique he understood after becoming a Sword Saint and practicing for a century. Even ordinary Holy-grade experts would find it hard to maintain their mental state under his gaze.

But this sixteen or seventeen-year-old youngster before them remained clear-eyed and unperturbed, making Mo Gaoyi even more curious about Mu Hanyan.

"Ancestor, don’t be deceived by him. Even Master Shen and Master Pu are powerless, what could he possibly do? I think he’s more likely trying to show off in front of the ancestor, using your name to elevate his status. I’ve seen many young people like this—impatient and unwilling to cultivate properly, always thinking of shortcuts. I’ll drive him out right away." Mo Gaoyi, noticing Mo Qingkuang’s intrigued gaze, felt even more uneasy and said this to Mo Qingkuang.

Logically, as the head of the family, he shouldn’t lose his composure this way. However, since he drove out Mo Gaoli with ruthless means and secured the position of Family Head, Mo Gaoyi practically had ultimate control in the Mo Family.

Over time, it developed into a problem of arrogance and domineering temperament, his mental cultivation far below that of Mu Beichen and the others. It’s not surprising that Mo Yanhong inherited all his bad habits from him.

"It seems you really think I’m blind and deaf." Mo Qingkuang swept his gaze coldly and said.

Seeing the cold gleam in the ancestor’s eyes, Mo Gaoyi felt a shiver in his heart, and cold sweat involuntarily trickled down from his forehead, not daring to utter another word.

"Can you really help?" Mo Qingkuang ignored Mo Gaoyi and asked Mu Hanyan again.

"I will do my utmost." Mu Hanyan had a hunch but was yet to be sure, so he did not speak too definitively. Nevertheless, he was quite confident, appearing much more assured than Shen Moce and the others.

"Very well, I would be deeply grateful if you could find Yan Lin." Although Mo Qingkuang was several generations senior to Mu Hanyan, he spoke courteously, without the slightest air of seniority.

"You’re too kind, senior." Mu Hanyan felt a sense of goodwill towards Mo Qingkuang, nodded, and asked Mo Gaoli, "Senior Mo, besides innate divine strength, does Mo Yanlin show any unusual behavior?"

"Not really. The child has been well-behaved since childhood. If any anomaly exists, it’s that he was much more precocious than other children, acting like an adult even at a young age." Mo Gaoli didn’t know why Mu Hanyan suddenly asked this but, noticing Mo Qingkuang’s apparent favor towards him, didn’t dare to neglect and thought a moment before responding. The brief words overflowed with concern and affection for his grandson.

"Right, due to his exceptional talent, after returning to the Zong Family, he was taught the ancestral Secret Technique by the Great Elder not long afterward. After learning the Cultivation Technique, he seemed somewhat distracted and frequently absent-minded. In the month before he went missing, he showed signs of losing control, his whole body feverish, but later seemed fine, so I didn’t worry much." Mo Gaoli suddenly recalled and added.

It was indeed him, indeed! Mu Hanyan almost burst out laughing.

Innate divine strength, fluctuating clarity and confusion, losing control and feverish—wasn’t it exactly like Family Head Fang encountering Little Linzi?

"Right. Was he wearing any charm or amulet?" Mu Hanyan asked another question.

Back when Mo Yanlin went to Xiaocang City, Mu Hanyan found it strange for a playboy like Mo Yanlin to visit such a remote small town. Now he vaguely guessed the reason. Mo Yanlin’s disappearance, even if Mo Gaoyi didn’t wish for his return, he had to put on a show. Mo Yanlin was likely commissioned to wander around, proving to the Sect Family that Mo Gaoyi even sent his own precious son in search, leaving no room for accusations of selfish motives.

The Eternal Life Lock dropped by Mo Yanhong could very well have belonged to Mo Yanlin. Otherwise, such a grown person wouldn’t still wear such a thing. Mu Hanyan remembered when Mo Yanlin picked up this Eternal Life Lock; he kept proclaiming "it’s mine, it’s mine," even before Mu Hanyan extended a hand, as if facing a dire enemy.

Previously thought he was muddled and not clear-headed, now thinking about it, it likely truly belonged to him.

"He used to wear an Eternal Life Lock, but it fell at the doorstep when he disappeared, and later the Young Master took it while searching for him." Mo Gaoli responded. Many families’ children wear charms like the Eternal Life Lock or beads when young, so he found nothing odd in Mu Hanyan’s question.

At this realization, not only Mu Hanyan but also Huayue and others couldn’t help but reveal slight smiles: it seemed impossible for the Young Master not to become famous now.

"Should I reveal the truth directly?" Mu Hanyan pondered but dismissed the idea, having already acted the role of a God-man to this extent; it might be best to continue.

Without further inquiry, Mu Hanyan took out the Star Plate, recently acquired from Shen Moce, swept his gaze across it, noticing something seemed missing. However, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, he had no time to check carefully and directly executed a Hand Formation.

Soon, the Star Plate radiated a fantastical glow, yet unfortunately, this time Mu Hanyan’s Mental State felt no difference, failing to reach a state of Chaos, and no obscure distorted spatial images appeared in his mind.

Of course, this didn’t matter, as this was supposed to be just a façade of practicing like a God-man.
